We headed up to Idaho to meet up with Brian Wada, CEO of Wada Farms. Brian spoke a bit about the different challenges the potato industry has faced this past year, different size profiles to expect, and explained why they shift between different varieties such as the Russet Norkotah and Russet Burbank. He also covered labor, and although Wada Farms has been fortunate to have long-lasting employees, they are still facing challenges bringing on new employees during the packing stage.
